Oh that's not nice. It's probably triggered by the -EIO in pci_vpd_read.
A quick search online seems to show that other people have experienced
this too - though from as far as I can tell this just gives you a
warning and pcilib will continnue to give other output?

I guess every vpd blacklist'd driver will have the same issue. And for
this reason I don't think that this patch is the right solution - as
otherwise all the other blacklisted drivers could follow your lead.

I don't think you need to fix this specifically for the AL driver and so
I'd suggest that you can probably drop this patch. (Ideally pciutils
could be updated to not warn for this specific use-case).

Thanks,
